Will I need sleeping pad on Camino Frances in October?

I leave SJPdP on September 28. I know some of the albergues will be closing for the season (e.g. I miss staying at L'Espirit du Chemin by one day). So will I need to carry the weight of a sleeping pad? With the fewer open albergues, will I probably see a need for it? (Or do you think some kind pilgrim carrying one but who has a bed will loan me theirs?)

Thanks for the advice!

Very light, comfortable and compressible poncho. Specially designed for protection against water for any activity.

Our Atmospheric H30 poncho offers lightness and waterproofness. Easily compressible and made with our Waterproof fabric, its heat-sealed interior seams guarantee its waterproofness. Includes carrying bag.

€60,-
you will not need a sleeping mat. There will be enough albergues open for you to find a bed, and far less pilgrims around so there should be a bed for everyone. Buen camino, Jane

Would a summer sleeping bag be enough on the Camino Frances (and possibly camino Invierno) in September/October?
